I am finding some of my keys are not responding well. I was having issues with capitalization. I have run the dianostics and on lines 6 and 7 I see the following text
6 HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNHHHHHHHN------------------------------------------
7 HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNHHNNNHHH------------------------------------------

According to their message it stated the following;

However, blocks of 16 or more H/L/N sensors indicate
hardware failure that must be repaired at the factory.

I have tried the update, that seemed to have fixes some of the issues (capitalization) but did not fix the fact that some of the keys do not all respond the same way. As from the diagnostic report there does still seem to be a problem.

I am going to try a complete uninstall and reinstall, and pray this works.

Has anyone else experience this issue, if so what was done??? I can't live without this keyboard.... why did these guys discontinue their business???

Hi Sue,
You might also want to try a full device reset: place the flat hand on the surface 5 times in a row; the device will completely reset itself. I don't know if you need to do it to both sides, but at least do it on the defective side. You'll need to load your configuration again afterwards, as this is also reset.

I don't know if this helps, but it certainly can't hurt.
Best of luck!

(...)* FWSEN16A Chips: Though someone seems to have found some floating around China, these rarely fail in the field, and the ones in China might not be in the correct chip package. Sensor chips are more likely to come unsoldered than fail in the field. Each handles an 8x2 block of electrodes and daisy chains down a row pair. So if diagnostics show some bad sensors in one or two adjacent rows, it's worth resoldering the FWSEN16A chips in that row, or if that fails replacing the chip directly underneath or down-row of the isolated failures. (...)

If everything else fails, it is likely that resoldering or replacement should correct the failure.

I don't know exactly where we are with this but I recall some talks about purchasing these chips.... When necessary, you should ask for someone who acquired some of those FWSEN16A for a replacement.

This is a serious matter for all of us here because it can happen to anyone. This is a good time to see how the community can handle the situation. My contribution at the time will only be this blah-blah burst because I have nothing more at hand. This confession made, I am ready to contribute to any emergency plan elaboration.

I will research these recommendations and keep the community posted of the outcome. i will be out of commission for a bit so it may be a while before I write back.

I am really hoping I don't have to crack open the keyboard, I really hope it is as simple as a full reset. (I really hate typing on this laptop keyboard, oh and don't get me started about the mouse nubby...)

I would recommend you downgrade if you can to see if you get the same message. If you do not then their may be some sort of bug in the 1.6 firmware. If you still get the error, then try the recommendation mention above in the string regarding reset. Good luck!

The reset does not seem to be working. I tried both hands on the touchpads 5 times, but nothing seems to change. The mouse makes the little diamond each time. There was no change in the error message with the previous version of 1.6.

Hmmm, for me that was the fix it is too bad it is not working for you. I am not sure what else to try at this point. Hopefully someone else may have some suggestions. Again, sorry I cannot be more helpful.

These are the instructions I had followed. If it is any consolation the first couple times I tried it, it didn't work, so I reread the instructions very carefully and slowly and then it worked like a charm.
